As I had posted a while back, my family has spent many hour in the hockey rink in all different capacities. This past Christmas we decided to purchase Hockey Canada jerseys for my grandsons that live in the USA. There is always a lot of talk about the kids and there jerseys when they wear them. It is awesome that people immediately look at you as someone who has been in higher caliber hockey, with better skills, training and knowledge of the game.
It is a pleasure to see the boys all playing together and enjoying their time in the rink. When my kids were younger they were all rink rats, they loved being at the rink, the atmosphere, the friends, the hockey family, watching the zamboni and being able to stand at the gate after the junior game and hopefully get a free hockey stick from their favorite player and get it signed.
When the grandkids have ice time it is so enjoyable to watch them grow and learn the game. Seeing the excitement in them as they master a skill reminds me of the many times my own children would learn a new move or shot and being so thrilled. I wish many years of fun and friendships created by their time at the rink.
Spending time with my grandsons at the rink makes me happy.
